The "Footloose" star and Sedgwick were victims of Benie Madoff`s 2008 fraudulent Ponzi scheme but he says seeing their fortune disappear never had a damaging impact on their marriage.

"I don`t think there was a moment where it was like, that thing happened and then we got p***ed at each other. It was sort of the opposite. We kind of went, `Holy s**t. Let`s... I don`t know. Let`s have sex or something. It`s free`," he told GQ magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 56-year-old actor, who has kids Travis, 26, and Sosie, 23, with Sedgwick, acknowledged some relationships don`t survive after suffering financial setbacks, but he and his 49-year-old spouse always felt they would be fine.

He said: "We knew we were going to have each other and our kids were okay. They were through school, almost. We both felt like we would work."
